A work almost unknown in American libraries. Crespel joined the band of missionaries and went to Quebec in 1724. After a journey beyond Chicagou to Wisconsin, he returned to Montreal, Niagara, and Frontenac, and was thence sent to Lake Champlain where he arrived in 1735. The following year he returned to Quebec, and thence set out for France, but was wrecked at the mouth of the St. Laurence on the island of Anticosti. For several months he and his companions were unable to get away, and most of them died, but the survivors were at last rescued and returned to Quebec, whence Crespel sailed for France in October, 1738.

map and three plates, 1729. The three plates are new, but the map is simply transferred
from its original place in Vol. I of Dampier in the earlier editions. In Vol. IV, the
narratives of Cowley, Sharp, Wood, and Roberts were annexed (as above specified) to
Funnell's account, and three plates added to illustrate them.

This is the original narrative which was afterwards used by De Bry and Hulsius. Decker, while still in the Dutch service, published in 1629 a Dutch account of his voyage, but the German one is fuller and more correct, and contains an addition of his experiences during 1627-29.

edition at the end must have been missing in the copy reprinted, or else were intentionally
rejected. The word NUEVA on the title in capitals, and the word Nueva in Italics in the
running headline of the book, are sufficient to prove the date of the volume, but there
are many similar instances throughout the book. In 1632, the first word was NVEVA
